Outgoing Dole Food Company president asks $25 million for San Juan Island dream home

As he readies for retirement, outgoing Dole Food Company president and COO Michael Carter has listed his island estate for $25 million.

The almost-20,000-square-foot, five-bedroom mansion on the exclusive San Juan Island in the San Juan Archipelago in Washington state was built by Carter in the late 1990s. Named "Eagle's Nest," it sits on 21 acres of pristine seaside land.

Carter and his family have only lived in the mansion since 2013, according to Curbed. They'll now live full-time at their golf resort mansion in Lake Sherwood, California.

Windermere Real Estate has the listing. Keep scrolling for an inside-out tour.

Eagle's Nest is protected by a gate, but San Juan Island is already pretty private. Though 55 square miles, it only has about 6,000 residents.
